5weeks out and discouraged.



Recommended Posts

four and a half weeks out from revision, I don't want to eat anything, I mean nothing sounds good. But I have made sure from the very beginning to drink drink drink, I have stayed hydrated thank goodness, I get all my Protein in, through Protein Shakes or adding protein to whatever I do manage to eat. Also I have been faithful about my supplements (vitamins) I don't want my already thin hair to fall out, and I don't want to suffer the consequences of not having the Vitamins I need. I figure food and eating will come eventually but I am diligent about the other three. liquids, vitamins and protein. It is not easy but it is something I practiced several months before surgery cause I knew it would be hard, but I know that it is so important. Somehow I have been able to drill that through my thick skull and do it.

Now exercise, nah haven't done that yet.

LOL. I hear ya on that one!! I need to find a protien that has enough protien, low in cards and sugar that I actually can stomach! The one I loved prior to surgery tastes horrible to me now. I gag it down and we have to sip which is torture. I was so excited that I was introducing foods and now, not so much.

Hang in there with the food issue. I noticed a hug difference at about six weeks. Things started to become much more tolerable to eat. Now if I can keep my blood sugar from dropping we'd be in business.

Heather, I remember not to long ago you really felt awful. things have really turned for you haven't they? I hope others who are just starting out can read back and see how things have went for different ones and that it really does (in most cases) get better every day. There will be days that you think "OMG" what did I do, but they become fewer and farther between. And you are a perfect example of that. Just keep on plugging on doing what we have been told to do and learning along the way. It does get better every day.

She si so right!! My first 3 weeks I wanted to die and I regreted the sx. Then all the sudden I was doing well. It was like overnight and I have not regreted it since. I encourage people to join myfitnesspal.com and friend others from this website. You will be able to view what others eat and experience the full journey will support from both sights. I am honest on mine and sometimes I make bad decisions but other suport me on there and give me ideas that help me to make better choices. Good luck.

Look for the post in the excersice forum that says myfitnesspal.com and you will find a bunch of users that would love to suport you! mine kristurney.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
